Ridge Capping Rebedding & Repointing Sydney

Ridge caps sit on a mortar bed and are sealed with pointing along each side. Rigid cement mortar and a roof that expands and contracts every day are a poor combination, and in Sydney's temperature swings the bedding eventually cracks apart. Once it has, the caps are held on mostly by their own weight, and water runs straight into the roof beneath them.

Rebedding means lifting the caps, removing the failed mortar and laying a fresh bed. Repointing then seals the joint with a flexible compound designed to move with the roof rather than crack away from it. Done together, it is the difference between a roof that lasts another fifteen years and one that keeps leaking.

Pointing alone over a failed bed is a cosmetic fix that looks fine and solves nothing. We will tell you which one your roof actually needs.
